After Action Report
The Heat pulled away from the Celtics 118-102. Heat controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Heat owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Early returns: the Heat per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it

- Heat · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Heat · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
